write table to csv python code example

Example 1: create csv file python

# This action requires the 'csv' module
import csv

# The basic usage is to first define the rows of the csv file:
row_list = [["SN", "Name", "Contribution"],
             [1, "Linus Torvalds", "Linux Kernel"],
             [2, "Tim Berners-Lee", "World Wide Web"],
             [3, "Guido van Rossum", "Python Programming"]]

# And then use the following to create the csv file:
with open('protagonist.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
    writer = csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerows(row_list)
# This will create a csv file in the current directory

Example 2: Write a table to CSV file python

header = [re.sub(' +',' ',i[0][:-1].replace('\n', ' ')) for i in optionsTable[0]]

with open('test.csv', 'w') as fp:
   writer = csv.writer(fp, delimiter=',')
   writer.writerow(header)
   for row in optionsTable:
      writer.writerow([i[1] for i in row])
